    So yeah, hey guys, I've had a question rolling around in my head for a while now (mostly on bus/train/car journeys) and I figured I would ask it here:

    If you could have any video game character's superpower/magic/ abilities/ general badassery that you can't have in reality, who's power would you choose to have?

    Tbh I've been thinking about Cole's power from inFamous but I'm wondering if anyone has any other suggestions they'd like to add.

    I'd just want the power of a Pokemon trainer. Get to call out any Pokemon I want, anytime I want.

    I don't think I play to many other games with unique powers...just a lot of typical RPGs and platformers.

    Not video game specific, but just give me Jedi/Sith force powers and a lightsaber.

    It'd be a ton of fun having Noctis' warping abilities from Final Fantasy XV

    Being able to summon bad-ass demons like Bayonetta would be a pretty convenient power to have.

    I've never actually played any of the FF games and I haven't seen any of the Star Wars franchise yet...so for now I'll have to take you guys' word for it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Never even considered Bayonetta... Think of how much you would have to spend on hair-care though...

    And Creativemind, you're talking to someone who has been looking for pet Growlithe/Arcanine since the age of 8. You're changing my opinion on this thread.

    Either my Oblivion or Morrowind's character abilities, alchemy. If not that, Cole from Infamous would be cool, or I like Creativemind's idea, just being able to train pokemon.

    If I could have any item from a game, either a keyblade (KH) or Portal gun.

    I know she doesn't, so when she does approve of something, you know it's badass. ^_^

    I would like for the forest to follow my orders and befriend all creatures living in it like Ivern in League of Legends

    Irrelevant- everyone has a crush on Alistair.

    Ohhh, control of the forest could be pretty handy! I've never played LoL.

    The easiest thing to say would be Delsin Rowe from Second Son, because he can absorb several superpowers from other people. I would try and think of something else, but right now I'm not too bothered so I'm just going to stick with him. Having said that, I'd also like to have the parkour skills of any of the assassins in AC.

    This.

    I know logically that there are tons of better more advantageous powers to have , but my inner child won't allow anything else.

    I'd love to have an ability to summon powerful godly creatures like in the Final Fantasy series (and yes that includes Choco-Mog from VII).

    I think Elder Scrolls magic powers would be cool to have. They're basic but fun. and you can summon demons
